Pros

- Many chances for individual to try new possibilities - Internal transfer to some totally different role is possible - Group companies with diverse businesses make it a nice place to meet people

Cons

- Being a Japanese company. It means stupid reports and weird culture - Not catching up to the trend, technically and non-technically - Internal organization fight against each other. There is no collaboration at all beyond team level - People just do not respect professional. Your boss asking you to do something totally wrong is not a rare case

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
